Within the borders of Israel, marriage is only possible between two members of the same religion, according to religious law. Couples who cannot get married in a religious ceremony, whether due to being members of different religions or other reasons, must marry abroad.\u00a0As a result, many Israelis choose to conduct their civil marriage in the Czech Republic.<\/p>\n

Czechia permits couples to conduct a civil marriage ceremony even if neither spouse is a Czech citizen. This is one of the reasons why it became a popular wedding destination for many Israelis. The ceremony is inexpensive in comparison to wedding ceremonies in Israel, the Czech Republic is just a short flight away, the process is relatively simple, and the marriage can be recognized in Israel, provided the Ministry of Interior cooperates. However, it must be said that the process is slightly more complicated than getting married in Cyprus, the most popular destination for Israelis who wish to be married in a civil ceremony<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Civil Marriage in the Czech Republic \u2013 who is eligible?<\/u><\/h4>\n

Israeli law states that marriage between Jews in Israel can only take place according to Torah law, under the authority of the Rabbinical courts. There are similar laws in place regarding Christian and Muslim Israeli residents and citizens. This means that civil marriages in Israel are not legally valid and will therefore not be registered with the Ministry of Interior (Misrad HaPnim<\/a>).<\/p>\n

Many Israelis are unable to or are not interested in getting married according to religious law. Possible reasons include; the couple\u2019s preference for a civil wedding rather than a religious one, or if the couple is a mixed couple, where the two parties are of different faiths, and are subsequently not allowed to get married in Israel.<\/p>\n

Therefore, in order to register as a couple in the Ministry of the Interior, many couples choose to get married in a civil wedding service in the Czech Republic, where they receive their civil marriage license, and are recognized as married upon their return to Israel<\/p>\n
